CONTRIBUTIONS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

This space for discussion ends tonight. As one of the Moderators, I want to thank all of you for your interest and for sharing your viewpoints on Water, which is at the core of the sustainable development. Kind regards

In my opinion the clean energy is the most important environment development for the next decades in the cities. Because the pollution in the urban centers have made diseases in the people.The growth of the cars in the cities, the growth of the industries, the demograph groth, the growth of pollution in cities will make the people to change their habits for the environment.

In my oppinion the Oportunities will are the Education for this new sustentable development and the news technologies, inovation and criative solutions.

The Challenge? Who, What, Whose, When, Where will finance these new solutions and these news inovations.

The Oportunities: Dissemination water legislation for all, creating and participating in river basin commitees, at meetings, increasing social participation in planning of the watersheds.

The Challenge? Who, What, When, Which, Where will born new technologies and new methods of educations and participation for the people in the watersheds and the New Midias (TVs programs, others technologies), the system of monitoring the quality and amount of rivers in watersheds, the plans of watersheds and the actions and projects of recuperation of rivers and Ecosystems (the Ecosystems of the watersheds), will made new Biofuels and new Biodigesters. The human resources for researchs in the planet would be create for digital work (on line) for various projects in many Universities in the countries. The multidisciplinary work and the interdisciplinary work will be very important for the researchs climate change in next years. Reuse of water in homes and building, use of rainwater too. This depends of Legislation and technical standarts for this reuse. One Challenger too: the planning of the buildings of the cities. The industries too, the reuse and use of rainwater in the production line. Planning.

Satisfaction to be able to talk with everyone, about the topics that were raised during the discussions and presentations by all participants of the His Voz Portal.

I would like to ask all the Moderators and those responsible for the Your Voices Portal of the 8th World Water Forum to keep the portal open during the presentations, discussions and after the presentations of the proposals by the participants in the Portal, the presentation of the contributions to the President of the World Water Forum and all representatives of the participating countries.

I believe that these actions will serve to change the reality of several countries, including Brassil and the Federal District, that cross water and social crises, taking from the vulnerability, populations that need not only the governmental and international financial resources, to reverse the calamity (floods - deaths that could be avoided), as well as to give people and society the opportunity to accompany the governments and the actions taken at the 8th World Water Forum - to be held in Brasília - Federal District, so that we necessary resources, voice and time to accompany and have greater social control over governmental resources - permanent projects and programs aimed at guaranteeing quality water for all the families of the planet, thus raising human dignity, with studies, use of new technologies, the presenvation of the springs, water courses, areas of permanent preservation.

Therefore, believing in the condition of ensuring that the Seu Voz Portal is maintained after the 8th World Water Forum, I place the entire disposition of those responsible for forming a working group of organized civil society, socio-environmental entities, members of the Academies, Government , Entrepreneur, to follow the results of the deliberations in each country participating in the 8th Forum, to guarantee financial resources, development of projects and programs for water resources.

Certain of being contemplated in my requests, I put the whole disposition with my Students of the Center of High School Taguatinga North - Brasília - Federal District.

Report on the participation of the Students of the Taguatinga Norte High School - Brasília / Federal District, during the 5th National Conference on the Youth and Environment of the Federal District, coordinated by the Education Department of the Federal District , where they had the great opportunity to participate in the event, enriching the knowledge, which had as its theme: Let's take care of Brazil, taking care of the waters.

I Report of the participation of the Students of the Taguatinga Norte High School in the Fifth National Conference of the Children and Youth of the Environment of the Federal District

Location: EAPE - School of Improvement of Education Professionals of the Federal District

Date: 2/27/2018 Shift: Daytime

Both in the programming of the thematic workshops and in the lectures given by the organs present on the first day of the V CNIJMA - National Youth Children's Conference of the Federal District, we could see not only the presentation and discussion of the theme of this year "Let's take care of the Brazil taking care of the waters, "but we could also have contact with projects already carried out in schools in the Federal District and others that are still in this process, and this we saw through those responsible for the event and also through the contact with other DF institutions present, some of the principles presented by the Youth Collective of the Federal District: "Youth educates young people" and "one generation learns from the other".

On that first day, we could also see in a very comprehensive way, not only for the theme, but also for being a major problem today our protagonist "the water".

We became aware of problems that result in water scarcity, such as population increase, irregular systems for water capitation, poor use of water by the population, being in a larger domestic area, but also having great relevance in the industrial and agricultural areas.

Soon after the presentation of these problems, some solutions have been put in place, some of which are already being implemented and others that unfortunately are far from being considered by our current government. And being our preparation as one of the objectives of this conference, during the whole process in that first instant we were instructed to the future stages (new conferences), by the question "how to elaborate a project?". Question that was answered in four steps.

Finally, in the thematic workshops, being the red color used by the CEMTN Students (a way that the organizers of the event used to separate groups of young people in these thematic workshops), I could be more aware of the true situation that we are living today in the scarcity of water resources, that from the mistaken thoughts of years ago today we live this reality that water is finite and that every day we are closer to your lack and further away from taking action to avoid this.

And beyond this awareness in workshops, we were able to put projects in practice, such as composting, we understand better about recycling and its importance and how it affects the lives of many waste pickers.

As a result of this first day, we could see that the environment directly affects our society in everything from quality of life to economic and social development, among others.

I'm a medical doctor in France but I'm Also very concern by the huge problem in Africa. The drinkable water distribution model is based on plastic in many cities. A lot of people drink water in plastic bottle or, worse, in little plastic waterbags That Provide an enormous pollution by contaminating the rivers and the oceans. They poison the human directly too, because some of them are filled in an artisanal way and because all of them transmit endocrine disruptors.

I'm managing a crew of Associates, French and African people, who want to change that. We are creating a company in West Africa to produce reusable water in gallons that we will be able to be delivered in each home without a waste.

We are now looking for financial investements to Achieve the building of our first factory. If somebody in the water forum is interessed, just contact me.

In Ecuador, the Water Secretariat and national government start a program named "Water and Sanitation for all" and will invest 2 billion dollars that will be focused on rural zones.

I think there is 2 challenges, the first one mentioned above, corruption in the water sector of Ecuador involves a lot of corruption cases (Odebrecht and more). The second, the national capabilities for supervision and control of adequate use of the money resources at local level. We have a lot of examples of investment in infrastructure that have never worked.

In fact, there is a very important subject that I hope will be taken into account and discussed in detail during the 8th World Water Forum in Brazil. This subject is the use of the water infrastructure as a tool for war. This is what has happened in countries that have suffered from terrorism and still need international and regional support for the rehabilitation of their water infrastructure. My country Iraq is one of these countries, we still suffer from the inability to rehabilitate our dams and barrages because we spent our financial source to fight the terrorist organization (Daesh).

At the central level, Hon.Prime Minister, Mr. Modi has already taken two dramatically important steps: he has streamlined energy decision-making, and also environmental decision-making. India’s Ministry of Environment and Forests is now the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change. Domestically, he has put the experienced and effective Suresh Prabhu as the head of a high-level panel on reorganizing the various energy ministries — an “Advisory Group for Integrated Development of Power, Coal and Renewable Energy.” The new consolidated energy ministries offer the promise of an integrated approach to clean energy.

Internationally, the challenge for Modi will be the upcoming UN Special Summit on Climate Change – and India’s negotiating stance in the next Paris meeting of the UN climate negotiation in 2015.

Historically, India has held fast to “equity” – that is, an emphasis on the industrial world’s historic role as the greatest greenhouse gas polluter and contributor to global warming, and India’s still relatively low per-capita emissions. And as Jairam Ramesh pointed out, some Indians are suspicious of a “covert political agenda” among climate scientists. Indians have, as a result, been reluctant to lay down any national goals for greenhouse gas emissions that would sacrifice the nation’s international sovereignty in a legal sense, and that would inhibit its economic growth.

India can still be mindful of those objectives. Yet it now faces growing domestic attention to climate change impacts, as well as a more complex international picture. The United States has signaled that it will implement ambitious greenhouse gas regulations, and China appears to be doing the same.

If Modi wants to project an image of an India “that actively engages with the world” and which wants to lead, as he said in his inaugural address, he may be willing to go beyond old-line climate change talking points. The new environment minister Prakash Javadekar still uses the language of “common but differentiated responsibilities” – still a relevant concept when India’s level of economic development and per-capita emissions are well below the United States or Europe. Yet how those responsibilities are taken within India remains an issue of both Indian and global importance.

Internationally, Prime Minister Modi has an opportunity for India to step forward to lead a new low-carbon approach to development – and in the process to demonstrate that India can be a global environmental leader without sacrificing economic growth.

As climate change unleashes coastal flooding, erratic rainfall, heat waves and increased glacier melting in the Himalayas, the need for India’s corporate sector to play a greater and more proactive role in mitigating and adapting has never been more critical.

Experts say that aggressive measures by businesses will remain the pivot for sustained action on climate change. The India Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Programme is one such initiative which provides businesses a standardized method to measure and manage their GHG emissions.

n response, the Indian government launched the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) in 2008. The initiative identifies eight core “national missions”, which deal with mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change as well as adaptation to climate change effects. In 2009, India also committed to reducing the country’s emissions intensity by 20-25% by 2020 from a 2005 baseline. By itself, Indian industry had already reduced its emissions intensity by an estimated 17.6% between 1990 and 2005 as it became more productive.

To curb expected increases in GHG emissions, Indian industry needs focused efforts to increase the efficiency with which it uses resources, he adds. It should reduce consumption by adopting more recycling and reuse of existing resources, and accelerate the adoption of clean technologies with an objective to optimize life cycle cost.

Geothermal energy is not new to India. As early as 1973, the Indian government submitted a report on geothermal hotspots of the country. This happened after the Geological Survey of India (GSI) performed shallow drilling exploration, which showed the potential hot springs and geothermal locations. It is estimated that India has the potential to generate 10 GW of geothermal power.

Deep inside the earth’s crust, heat radiates from a sea of molten rocks. Sometimes, they erupt as volcanoes or flow out as hot springs. The idea is to tap at least a fraction of this massive amount of heat energy, and convert it into electricity.

First, scientists locate geothermal hotspots; then, they identify fractured rock surfaces through which heat can be released. Next, wells are dug to release heat energy in the form of steam and hot water, and are used to drive turbines, which, in turn, produce electricity.

Geothermal energy

Geothermal energy is considered renewable because the heat emanating from the earth’s interior is essentially limitless and is expected to remain so for billions of years. Further, unlike solar and wind, it is available 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. It emits around 80% fewer greenhouse gases compared to coal and oil. A geothermal plant works non-stop, unlike wind and solar.Puga Valley in the Ladakh region of Jammu & Kashmir was one of the areas which showed significant potential for geothermal energy. Puga lies in the south-eastern part of Ladakh and forms a part of the Himalayan geothermal belt. This zone shows evidence of geothermal activity in the form of hot springs, mud pools, sulphur and borax deposits.

Carbon savings

For every one unit of electricity saved, 600 grams of carbon emission is saved. , “Where a normal fan runs for 13 hours and consumes one unit of electricity, Superfan runs for 29 hours, consuming the same one unit of power.” For every Superfan purchased, coal consumption is reduced by 73 kg, and carbon emission is reduced by 90 kg every year.

“Currently, the energy efficiency of Superfan is 56%, and we want to push it by an additional 18%”, The Indian company is working on technologies to achieve this efficiency.
